Double-Bushed Guide Rails

[Stephen Grattan]

If for some reason the thickest bushing cloth is still too thin, laminate the two thicknesses you would need together.  Use a spray contact cement on both pieces, let dry the prescribed time and press together.  The contact cement will not wick through as would hide glue and it remains flexible.  Be sure the grain runs the same direction so you can tear the strips. I have done this several times with no problems.

Screw that, just buy the thickest bushing cloth (Pianotek sells it), cut
your own strips, diameter of the hole x 3.14159... for the width will work
fine.

I've never rebushed the S&S double bushed guide rail.  I am wanting to keep
it double bushed for hysterical accuracy.  ;-]

Any tips/procedures to help?  I'm assuming standard bushing cloth works fine
for the inner layer, but what should be used for the outer?  I'd really
appreciate input on this one.

Thanks,
William R. Monroe
